Dutch oven camp cooking creates an outdoor kitchen
from:Your campground menu will not be limited by the outdoor arena if you bring along one simple piece of cooking equipment – the dutch oven. Dutch oven camp cooking allows you to prepare versatile meals that will meet any of your needs, whether you are looking for a quick, hearty meal or want to replicate one of your at-home favorites while around the campsite. Dutch oven camp cooking makes great dinners as well as breakfasts. A wide range of dishes can be prepared, including biscuits, stews, cakes and dumplings.
For dutch oven camp cooking, all you need to bring to the campfire is the dutch oven, which is simple a thick-walled metal vessel with a tightly-fitting lid. If you have a large group, bring more than one dutch oven on your camping trip. Simply place the dutch oven over some hot coals from your fire for dutch oven camp cooking. In this vessel you can bake food the same as with a traditional oven, and even boil, fry, or roast a meal. Anything you can make at home will become possible at the campground with dutch oven camp cooking. Some dutch oven camp cooking favorites include roasted chicken and breakfast muffins. Also, tasty desserts such as fruit cobblers can be enjoyed while camping with dutch oven camp cooking.
If you are baking, dutch oven camp cooking is simple. Place the dutch oven on enough hot coals from your campfire so that the entire bottom is touching coals. Place additional coals on top of the lid of the dutch oven. You can adjust your baking temperature with the number of coals being used -- the more coals you use, the higher your baking temperature will be.
To keep your dutch oven operating great so that you can enjoy dutch oven camp cooking, be sure to take some minimum maintenance steps. This simple upkeep will allow you to use your dutch oven throughout your entire lifetime. The following tips will help keep your dutch oven in great shape.
• When your food is done, remove it from your dutch oven. Do not leave food in the dutch oven over night – it is not a place for storing food.
• After use, wash the dutch oven with hot water and a brush. It is not necessary to wash out with soap – this will remove the flavoring that a dutch oven can add to food prepared in it.
• Before storing your dutch oven, it is a good idea to add a light coat of oil.
• The dutch oven should be stored in a dry place and without the lid covering it.
